Anne O’Connor MAPS
Since the mid 1990s, I have worked in public, private, and community organisations that are dedicated to strengthening community and social justice action, with particular expertise in refugee mental health and chronic disease recovery. Roles in psychotherapy, team lead, facilitation, and projects inform all aspects of my practice. As a long term meditation practitioner also qualified in mindfulness training, I bring living practice traditions to mindfulness teaching. My own experience of chronic, invisible illness and dynamic disability grounds my work with illness recovery. Services include individual psychotherapy, supervision, organisational consulting, and mindfulness training, face-to-face or online at The Abbotsford Convent.

About My Logo
My logo is a representation of the native orchid, Caladenia cucullata. This small orchid is adaptable and delicate, growing in challenging conditions such as dry forest on poor, sandy or stony soil. It expresses a spirit of growth and beauty amidst fragile, sometimes hostile environments.
The Caladeina cucullata orchid has lightly fragranced white flowers, a deeply coloured purple tip, and tall thin green stem – colours of the women’s suffrage movement. It is commonly found through the Goldfields area of Victoria including Gariwerd National Park.
I acknowledge the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin Nation as Traditional Owners of the land on which I work. I pay my respects to Elders past, present and emerging, and to Elders of all communities connected to this practice and who also work and live on this land. I acknowledge that these lands were never ceded and the effects of colonisation on land, waters and culture is enduring.
